I downloaded the latest coldfusion 64bit for windows yesterday, file ColdFusion_11_WWEJ_win64.exe, and it completed installation successfully on my windows 7 professional machine. The Cold Fusion Application Server service did not start and trying to start it via services results in a 1053 error immediately. There are no log files generated at this point.I have tried installing 4 times with various options. I am using apache for the web server, which works fine with coldfusion 9. I tried the hotfix patch 4 for cf 11, which was mentioned in another post. It installed properly but had no effect. I also checked the xml file C:\ColdFusion11\cfusion\runtime\conf\context.xml to make sure that <Manager pathname=""/> was not commented out (and it wasnt), which was mentioned in an adobe blog post.Does anyone have any idea how to get the service running?

We have a client using CF8 Server for a site and I am using the CFHEADER/CFCONTENT method to force a file to save to the end-user's computer.The dialogue comes up as expected, but regardless of what is found in the CFHEADER for a filename, it tries to save the file as the CFM page name.i.e. The CFM page is signature.cfm. I am trying to make it save a TXT file to the user's computer, which it seems to be trying to do, but the instead of using "sig.txt" as the filename as outlined in the CFHEADER, it is defaulting to "signature.cfm"While I know that I could change the name and extension and the content in the file would be correct, the mass majority of end-users will not know that they can do that, and the client does not want it to become more complicated than necessary.Is there a way to make the file change to the proper name in the SAVE AS dialogue?Thanks in advance.Code so far is pretty straight forward ...<CFHEADER name="Content-Disposition" value="attachment; filename=sig.txt"&g

We are trying to install ColdFusion Report Builder which requires RDS to be enabled on the server.I have edited the web.xml file and uncommented the RDS parameters but, after restarting ColdFusion, I cannot access the server.If I put the web.xml file back to how it was I can access the server after restarting.Does anybody have any ideas what could be causing this?The parts that I uncommented were as follows:I tried with both uncommented and also just the first part uncommented but with the same results.    <!-- begin RDS --->    <servlet id="coldfusion_servlet_8789">        <servlet-name>RDSServlet</servlet-name>        <display-name>RDS Servlet</display-name>        <servlet-class>coldfusion.bootstrap.BootstrapServlet</servlet-class>        <init-param id="InitParam_1

I am a journalist in Australia with no IT skills.I am looking for advice re the future of two sites I am responsible for which run on a system developed on the ColdFusion platform.My developer and others tell me ColdFusion is very 'yesterday', will not be supported into the future, and I need to have the program rewritten in PHP or other languages.Researching software rewrites delivers a consensus that they are nightmares.Can any Coldfusioneers give me hope, advice on another pathway, or confirmation that a rewrite is the only real option pls?Simon

I am indexing 34000 + documents physically located on the Hard DriveWindows Server 2008 SP2CF9OracleThanks to advice in another thread I started I am indexing the folders one at a time followed by an update after each.  Some of the PDFs can be huge (130mb) but the average is closer to 1 mb.  On occasion I will get to a PDF that is corrupt (If I copy it to my desktop and attempt to open it, Acrobat Pro says it is corrupt).I have attempted using cfpdf to read header info in a cftry block with the catch creating a log entry.  That should work but it hangs trying to read the doc (assuming that is what is happening with Solr too).  I get no log entry and it will continue to hang until timeout for the request.Can anyone think of a way to break out of a hung file and continue to index the remaining files?Thanks

Hi ...i have a question, our development team are currently using CF9 and going to upgrade it to CF11, but it still need time to do so... we purchased CF11 licenses as we’ve been told that there’s no more CF9 license available…and we have to use CF9 for the time being…. so, what should we do? Do you have any suggestion? Or can we get product key for CF9 for now as our dev. environment are still in CF9…Hope to hear from you..Thank you..

We have recently installed CF11 Enterprise (64-bit) on a Windows 2012 (64-bit) Server running IIS 8.5.  When I check for Updates from the ColdFusion Admin I get the following error "Not able to connect to Update Site: Connection Failure: Status code unavailable".I have verified the Update Site URL under Settings is set to http://www.adobe.com/go/coldfusion-updates.  I have also tried changing this URL to https://cfdownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/coldfusion/xml/updates.xml as someone in a post recommended with no luck.Please advise, we are trying to apply the latest Update for CF11 and this is holding us back.Thanks

I was editing a JS file wanted to write a try catch. I started writing the catch part first. Then the try part. But, added the parentheses. I don't know what I was thinking. But, it locked up ColdFusion Builder 3 to the point that I had to restart my VM of Windows 2008 R2 64-bit.try () { } catch ( e ) { }

Hi All,We're creating a web service to send some data to another application, when the web service is called from our application an error message "Unable to read WSDL from URL" appears. But if we check the file using the browser the xml contents get displayed without any issues.Any idea what could be wrong? Thanks.

When I put an asp.net program name in a form tag's action attribute, I get a page not found error.How can I call an asp.net program from a ColdFusion one and pass form element values ?

I have 2 date fields. I would like to be able to leave them blank and have the database create a NULL.This works fine but only if I have the 2 date fields listed last in my insert statement. If I add any below the 2 shown below, the fields are populated with: 01/01/1900. For example, I can't add the "LastModifiedBy" field below the 2 shown below otherwise it will fill in that database field with 01/01/1900.Does anyone know what could be causing this? Thank you.    <cfqueryparam value = "#ARGUMENTS.LastModifiedBy#" CFSQLType = "CF_SQL_VARCHAR">,     <cfif StructKeyExists( ARGUMENTS, "DateField1" )>   <cfqueryparam value="#arguments.DateField1#" cfsqltype="CF_SQL_DATE">,    <cfelse>   <cfqueryparam value="" cfsqltype="CF_SQL_DATE" null="yes" >,  </cfif>   <cfif StructKeyExists( ARGUMENTS, "DateField2" )>   <cfqueryparam value="#arguments.DateField2#" cfsqltype="CF_SQL_

I am working on my first REST application in ColdFusion and I am noticing that application specific mapping defined in Application.cfc does not seem to work!Is it something that is not supposed to work because the application.cfc is only utilized when the REST service is initialized and subsequently its not utilized? Thank you for any insight.EDIT:When I had first posted this I thought it was just application specific mappings that did not work. Later on I discovered that it was mappings in general. Even if you had set a server level mapping in the administrator it did not matter. The REST service always defaulted to the wwwroot starting path. Seems like a pretty significant issue unless I am missing something very obvious.

Hi All,I was integrating a REST API of iCIMS. And find some of the REST API calls needs http verb PATCH but it seems ColdFusion doesn't supports that. So, is these any way around to do it ????Also, I got a Blog post( Fun with Adobe ColdFusion and REST or cfhttp still doesn't support PATCH – Neiland.net  ) on this. It seems many developers needs it. Please suggest any solutions.

Hey guys,Recently, we updated to Java 8 and CF11 (with version 3). While testing out our new environment, we noticed that when we tried to add a Font manually (in CF Admin page), the request gets stuck and nothing happens.I looked at the ColdFusion running processes, and there are 4 of them. 3 of them use the old JRE path (/opt/coldfusion11/jre) and the last one uses the new Java8 JRE (under /usr/.... ). Here is a link to the `ps -ef | grep cold` command: http://pastebin.com/VfrveijEAfter noticing this, I killed the first three CF11 processes and I could then add the fonts. When I reboot the server, 4 CF11 processes start again.Anyone run into this issue?Please advise,

Hi all:After a lot of tweaking, I got CF7 running on Win 2008 / IIS 7.I am now migrating apps from Win 2003 / IIS 6.However, one problem I can't solve is that when I access a page over the Internet, and a Cold Fusion error occurs, all I get is the standard IIS 500 - Internal server error message.Yet, if I access the page from a browser on the server itself, that is, if I access via the local host 127.0.0.1,  I get the usual partial page output, then the CF error output, like I used to always get before.I suspect this has to do with IIS 7, or the tightened security in Win 2008, but I can't figure out how to fix it. I need the ability to see the error messages over the Internet. Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks,Joe

Folks - I am truly stumped on this one and need help.  I am training a new co-worker on our CF 9.0.2 EE environment and wanted to have him run some of our scheduled tasks.  I had him log into the production website with the admin id and password (single password only using the 'generic' cfadmin id) without incident.He navigated to the scheduled tasks without incident and clicked on the 'Run Scheduled Task' button, and up popped a message to log back into CF administrator.  Never, never have I seen this happen before.  I verified, and no one else was logged into the CF Administrator at the time.The application log contained the following warning message: "CFADMIN","There was an error while verifying the token. Either the session timed out or un-authenticated access is suspected."I've googled, Yahooed, and every other thing in between and can only fin references to CF10 and single account sessions.  We verified again that he was the only on using the CF administr

Working on a ColdFusion app that would let designated users add/delete members of Distribution Groups in AD. Have run into a problem with the way our AD is set up.Our company and AD is divided up in what we call regions, so within AD, users are members of the group that corresponds to their region. The problem is all the Distribution Groups are listed under the root domain users group, so the idea of being able to filter distribution lists based on the region of the user just went out the door. Additionally, within each region, we have facilities (hospitals) and all the distribution list names begin with the facility names and they vary in length. For instance, within the Oahu region, we have facilities name Leahi and Maluhia, distribution lists for those facilities begin with the same name.My dilemma is trying to figure out how to filter the distribution lists a user has access to.From AD I can get the users region, i.e. Oahu, I can then use that to populate a pull down menu from a SQ

We're looking at bringing up a test LDAP server, something that would not sync with our current domain, just a stand alone device for ColdFusion LDAP application development.

We have 32bit CF10 running on Win 2003 32bit.  We built a new server to replace the old one and need to install 64bit CF10.We originally purchased an upgrade license from CF8 Standard to CF10 Enterprise.The installer accepts our CF10 Enterprise license key,but will not accept the original CF8 key as the "Previous version".Has anyone encountered this issue?Thanks!

I have posted this issue in the Solr sub-community, but I also noticed that there is basically zero activity there (first post in 8 months, no answers to other posts), so I am re-posting my issue in the main CF forum.I am having difficulty getting categoryTree to populate with cfindex. I have created the collection with categories enabled, and the category column does indeed get populated. But try as I might, I cannot get the categoryTree column to populate. My indexing code is as follows:cfindex(     type="custom",     autoCommit=true,     collection=arguments.collectionName,     action="Update",     key=arguments.key,     title=arguments.title,     body=arguments.body,     custom1=arguments.custom1,     custom2=arguments.custom2,     custom3=arguments.custom3,     cus
